yes. In any case, this is one of the things I wouldn't

Ok, will not bother then.
Out of curiosity...
So normally when I send something, the routing table (ip r show) determines
which local interface the remote side sees as sender.
If I connect() and bind() at the same time, would that bypass the routing table
and the bind() address would be the sender?
And that's why we don't really need it, because it doesn't make sense to send
from a different interface than indicated by the routing table?
